Hey there, welcome to a total transformation in this episode, igniting your passion and creativity at work. If you’ve ever hit that uninspired slump or felt your creative mojo drain away, here’s the chat you’ve been craving.

Today, we’re off on an enthralling voyage sweeping from Michigan’s heart to the awe-inspiring desert vistas of Phoenix, Arizona. Serving as our guide is the exceptional Courtney Fae Long – international speaker, author, and visionary extraordinaire in leadership development, with a laser focus on lifting women up.

Ladies, let’s admit it – often, our needs end up squashed at the end of that endless to-do list. But guess what? In this episode, we’re flipping that script and putting self-nurturing front and center as the key to unleashing our genuine power. Courtney and I are plunging headfirst into the world of pleasure, self-awareness, and self-love in the lives of female leaders.

Buckle up for exploring the connection between pleasure, productivity, and innovation. We’re digging into how embracing joy can seriously amp up your mental and physical wellness, all while supercharging your productivity in ways you never saw coming.

So, rev up that internal battery because we’re about to uncover the enormous worth of infusing joy into every nook of your life – whether you’re in the work whirlwind or soaking in your cherished personal moments. After all, your happiness and energy levels are the real deal. When you prioritize your well-being, you naturally become the crème de la crème of leaders for everyone in your orbit.

Alright, let’s jump right in!

 

In this episode, Courtney and I discuss:

  • The value of weaving pleasure into all aspects of your life, from work to personal time.
  • Cultivating personal and body awareness for better decision-making and passion-fueled projects.
  • Exploring how joy benefits your mental and physical health while bolstering productivity and innovative thought.
  • Reinforcing the need for self-love and sacred self-care as a driving force in the empowerment of female leaders.
  • Taking joy breaks to refuel and get more done in less time.

This episode at a glance:

[05:25] As women, we are so caring and nurturing. We nurture others, we nurture our business, and we often put ourselves last on our to-do list.

[08:34] Our sexual energy is just this feeling of aliveness and joy and passion and creativity, which can be channeled into our work in our creative projects.

[12:48] We know when something lights us up and when something aligns with us. It’s important to say no to the ones that don’t light us up and to say yes to the ones that light us up.

[16:45] Cause when we get stressed, we tend to disconnect from our body and go way into our head and the anxiety feeling.

[22:40] Our happiness matters. The bottom line matters. The task at hand matters. The project matters. But if we’re not happy, healthy, and energized, we can’t show up.
